Just for funsies, let's revisit a pre-megastar Tom Hanks in his dramatic role of a lifetime as Uncle Ned in Season 2, Episode 14 of Family Ties, titled “Say Uncle” (aka “That Time Tom Hanks Drank Vanilla Extract”).

I’m excited to welcome friend of the pod, Pat — a once serious student turned college professor — to join me in examining the As and Amphetamines in Season 2, Episode 6 of Family Ties titled “Speed Trap” (aka “Alex P. Keaton Does Speed!”).
